Join us Friday, June 12th for a fun community contra dance! Rising caller Robert Moleski will be calling the dances to the live tunes of Wild Bill’s Traveling Circus.
Tallahassee community contra dances are in full swing the 2nd and 4th Fridays of most months! Contra dancing is an upbeat, beginner-friendly American social dance for all ages. It shares many moves with square dancing (such as swing your partner and do-si-do) and is danced in long lines to live music. Bands and instructors (“callers”) vary each night. No dance experience is needed and you don’t need to bring a partner. Arrive in time for the Beginner Lesson at 7:15, and by the end of the night, you’ll have danced with everyone in the room! There’s a short break mid-way through the night for sharing snacks and socializing. Wear comfortable clothes and flat shoes.
Admission cost: $10 for Adults, $9 Seniors over 50, $6 for Students, Free for Kids under 12. Admission is payable by cash, check, or card at the door. First-timers get in to your 2nd dance free!
